SOCA HQ provides high level employee recruitment services for elite soccer organizations in the U.K., Europe and USA.
While soccer continues to grow globally, so does the competition for Elite Personnel. To ensure every blade of grass is covered, we work with clients from start to finish on all assignments. SOCA HQ is the only Recruitment and Headhunting Service exclusive to soccer in the world.
The founders of SOCA HQ have a unique understanding of all levels in the soccer marketplace. With first hand experience of professional organizations in the English Premier League and Europe, plus expansion franchises in the MLS and USL (USA), we have built a vast foundation of knowledge. These foundations enable us to understand an organizations culture, vision and direction. We have seen how these organizations are built from the ground up, both successful and not so successful. The single most important component is personnel. Bringing in the right people at the right time, that match that organizations core values is the key component for long term success.
The business has offices and management in the U.K, Europe and the USA and has quickly established itself as a group that understands the challenges of elite soccer organizations face year upon year. With our global reach, we have access to a pool of candidates, executive personnel and even employed personnel, that no employer can access. This changes the market for your open position, and therefore changes the game.
What we do
SOCA HQ offers a full bespoke headhunting service ranging from Senior Executives at Board Level, C-suite positions, to Front Office, Technical and Coaching Staff. The full range of services offered uniquely includes both non player and player recruitment, a first for the Global Soccer Industry.
With over two decades of experience and knowledge of teams, leagues, governing bodies, agencies, players unions and college programs, our finger is always on the pulse. This allows us to work closely to identify, source and hire the key personnel to fit the specific organization. Using our internal contacts and research capabilities, we make this process fast and direct for our clients.
In recent years we have seen that whilst player budget will always play a part in a teams success, more and more evidence is readily available that shrewd investment in key front office and management personnel plays a major role. In order for organizations to be consistent in all aspects, SOCA HQ can identify potential weaknesses and areas of possible growth. With the soccer industry constantly adapting (for example the impact of data analysts both on the field and commercially) it is clear to see how this has drastically shaped the fortunes of some elite clubs and leagues.
